No, I don't mind at all--I'm heading to Lincoln from Northern NJ. Not sure if we'll ultimately end up staying there as the job market isn't great but I'm going to live with my parents for a while first. Where abouts are you heading in the Midlands?

We're doing opposites on the flights, lol--I typically fly into London but this time we thought we'd see if the drive was any shorter from Brum.

So jen must be home in Lincoln now!!

Jen I am heading to Leicester.
3 more sleeps.......

Welcome Home Jen!!!

Goodluck to all flying home this week. Hope Charleygirl doesnt get her flight delayed with all the bad weather. She seems to be flying out in the nick of time.

Yes TT you have had an earthquake and are now facing a tornado/hurricane!!

Batten down the hatches me dear!!

Now it's 2 more sleeps!!!

Welcome home Jenn - hope you have your brolly handy cos it looks like you'll need it this weekend!

Good luck Charley, have a safe trip, won't be long now!

OMG I am getting so excited nervous, got butterflies but I am almost ready now....and it seems like my 3 children and one of their friends are coming to see me off.........

Don't forget the Kleenex! Your children are very sweet to come and see you off! Even though they don't want you to leave, they are there for you.

Oh what lovely kids they are. You must be a great mum.

How exciting! I can't believe it's finally here for you. Those butterflies mean you're alive (easy for me to say I know). But just remember, nothing is irreversible and this is your time to figure out what you want. Good for you being brave enough to carpe diem!

Trust me, I knoq how hard it is to leave your kids, I did the same when I moved to the USA, but they now tell us how proud they are of us for following a dream. Mind you, our dream is over and we fly back on Sept 9th. Nothing need be for ever Charley, good luck and keep us posted

best wishes Charleygirl, enjoy the ride

So glad the kids are going to see you off, have a safe trip & see you on this side

Last sleep tonight Charleygirl, oh I do hope it all goes well for you and your flight is not affected by Hurricane Irene.

Hi everyone, almost packed now, just my carry on to finish off, stupid isnt it that you can carry on 21kgs and yet checked in luggage can only be 23kgs, just had to take 5kgs of stuff out of one...

My children and I are all going out to dinner tonight, sigh.
flight is still on time etc...luckily I leave before the wind and rain hits.
will post over on 50s and 60s thread later tonight.
